Soothing Stripes

August 3rd, 2009

Simple stripes….who would have thought such a simple concept could create a whimsy touch. I needed something clean and timeless for my seven year old’s bedroom. I did not want to argue bikes, superman, or monster trucks anymore! I needed a clean background that I could change out his latest “can I please have….in my room”.

I selected large horizontal stripes using Benjamin Moore Powell Buff HC-35 and Lancaster White paint colors. I also wanted a neutral background for a little peace and quiet to the eye for the loud seven year old artifacts. I think I was successful!

Try your horizontal stripes somewhere soon!

Love this! I am actually planning this same design for a nursery in shades of butter yellow and cream. I hope you submit the full room to our real rooms submission page for an article!
